FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 * UXl -L1VUVU1U'^x M * ",l" " MUSEUM OF MODERN ART OPENS EXHIBITION OF GALDER MOBILES, STABILES, CONSTELLATIONS AND JEWELRY An American sculptor, peculiarly the product of his age and country, will be presented in a full-length retrospective exhibition Wednesday, September 29, when nearly one hundred sculptures, con­ structions, drawings, and pieces of Jewelry by Alexander Calder go on view at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street. The exhibi­ tion, directed by James Johnson Sweeney assisted by Margaret Miller of the Museum staff, will be shown in the first floor galleries and sculpture garden of the Museum and will remain on view through Sunday, November 28. The installation has been designed by Herbert Matter, who has also takren many of the photographs for the catalog. Mr. Sweeney has written the text for the sixty-eight-page catalog illustrated with fifty-eight halftones, which the Museum is publishing in conjunction with the exhibition. €n his introduction Mr. Sweeney writes in part as follows: "Exuberance, buoyancy, vigor are characteristics of a young art. Humor, when it is a vitalizing force not a surface distraction, adds a dimension to dignity. Dignity is the product of an artists whole-hearted abandon to his work. All these are features of Alexander Calder1s work,together with a sensibility to materials that induces new forms and an insatiable interest in fresh patterns of order. "On the side of tradition, two generations of sculptors—father and grandfather—gave him an intimate familiarity with the grammar and conventions of art.

    LINES from the League The Magazine of the Art Students League of New York Spring 2017 Message from President Ellen Taylor Dear League Community, Welcome to our Spring 2017 issue of Lines from the League. I’m happy and proud to share with you the art, news, listings, and insights in this issue. My fellow Board members and I have been meeting with instructors and many members, students, and staff. You are reaching out to us and we are listening. You’ve got some great ideas. Let’s keep that up! Timothy J. Clark, our Interim Executive Director, has been graciously helping the League through this transition period. He’s been working with the staff and the Board to secure the schedule for both the summer and fall sessions. You will see some exciting new classes and workshops. I encourage you to branch out and sample some of them. Take advantage of what the League has to offer. The diversity of instruction the League provides is unparalleled. We are truly a “one-of- a-kind” place. This issue of Lines features stories about all the things that make the League so fantastic: a discussion of teaching with Costa Vavagiakis, news of the success of our members, suggestions of what exhibitions to see around town this spring and summer, programming updates, news of our supporters, and of course art! In addition, an interview I did with Stephanie Cassidy and Jeanne Lunin is on page 8. It gives some insight into my personal history and relationship with the League. I hope it’s an interesting read.

  • Jose De Creeft (1884-1982)
    JOSE DE CREEFT (1884-1982) Starting from his humble beginnings in Spain to his early international success in Paris, which was subsequently surpassed in America, Jose de Creeft forged his name in stone as a major American artist by the early 1940s. Known as one of the major contributors in developing key techniques in modernist sculpting, de Creeft drew from a wide variety of resources, among them primitivism, tribalism, abstraction, linearism, Folk Art, and his imagination, to create works which duly supported his ingenuity as an artist and capitalized on his versatility in successfully using any medium, style and theme. His sculptures, paintings and drawings all retain a unique sensibility; one which simultaneously references the past and the future. Most importantly, de Creeft’s oeuvre retains all of the nuances and elements of human expression in its most intimate and fleeting moments. He successfully captured the soul of the medium and subject matter, transcending his emotional energy through his carving. SCULPTURE In 1915, de Creeft was living in Paris among the modern artists of the first wave of modernism. Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Joan Miró and Georges Braque were all instrumental in the European and American modernist movements, and the Parisian ambiance set the stage for invaluable discussions on art, criticism and methodology. Desiring to formulate his own personal aesthetic, de Creeft departed from the traditional techniques and traditions of sculpting, which helped frame the conservative academic institutions worldwide, and instead wholeheartedly applied himself to the process of “taille direct,” direct carving. De Creeft’s earliest introduction to carving was in 1900, at the age of sixteen, where he was apprenticed to a workshop in Barcelona to carve wood reproductions of devotional figures.

  • Julio González First Master of the Torch in Dialogue with Pablo Picasso David Smith Eduardo Chillida Anthony Caro
    Julio González First Master of the Torch in dialogue with Pablo Picasso David Smith Eduardo Chillida Anthony Caro González: First Master of the Torch David Smith, ARTnews, February 1956 The Bull in its symbolic action has stood for many things in Picasso’s history, things Spanish and things noble. The Bull has been the artist, the people of Spain, the open-eyed conscience of free men, the disemboweler of the lie of Franco, the aggressive protector of women, and among other symbols, the lover of woman. But after the death of Julio González, Picasso’s friend of forty-five years, the Bull becomes a skull on a green and blue fractioned table before the window curtained in violet and black. Coming home from the funeral Picasso had done this picture of a bull’s skull and dedicated it: “En homage à González.” To the wall of his studio was tacked a snapshot of his friend. For Picasso all source of life becomes the nature of painting. On what peaks did memory ride — for they were friends from youth, from the days of the Barcelona café, Els Quatre Gats. In 1901 Picasso shared González’s living quarters in Paris until he found a studio. Throughout the succeeding years they remained on good terms, visiting each other, even working together; and then, the end at Arcueil in March of 1942. The youngest of four children (the others, his sisters Pilar and Lola, his brother Juan), González was born in Barcelona in 1876. Both Juan and Julio were apprenticed in their fa- ther’s metal shop, becoming third-generation smiths.

  • Harn Museum Modern Collection
    Modern Collection American, European and Latin American art The Harn Museum’s modern collection includes nearly 1,000 works spanning from the mid-19th century through the first half of the 20th century. The collection is divided into three geographically defined sub- collections: American art, European art and Latin American art. American art is further divided into three genre categories: painting, sculpture, and prints and drawings. A major strength of the modern collection is its representation of American art from the 1910s through the 1940s. Areas of special importance include landscapes, urban themes, social realist themes and Works Progress Administration prints. These works represent many significant movements in American art such as Impressionism, early Modernism, Cubism, Geometric Abstraction, Regionalism, and Urban and Social Realism. The core of the collection was established in the early 1990s through a major gift from William H. and Eloise R. Chandler of more than 50 paintings by well-known American artists such as George Bellows, John Steuart Curry, Philip Evergood, Rockwell Kent, Leon Kroll, Jack Levine, John Marin and John Sloan. During the last decade, the Harn has significantly added to the quality and depth of these holdings through purchases and generous gifts. These important contributions have continued to shape the museum’s representation of modern art in new and exciting directions. American paintings from the 19th century include fine examples by William Morris Hunt, Herman Herzog, William Aiken Walker and J. Alden Weir. Major movements of American art in the first half of the 20th century represented in the collection include Impressionism by artists such as Childe Hassam and Theodore Robinson; Post-Impressionism by Maurice Prendergast; and early Modernism and Abstraction by Milton Avery, Francis Criss, Preston Dickinson, Werner Drewes, Lyonel Feininger, Suzy Frelinghuysen, Albert Gallatin, Raymond Jonson, John Marin, Georgia O’Keeffe, Ben Shahn and Joseph Stella.

  • My Way Calder in Paris
    THE STATE OF LETTERS 589 us are hard to take in. Or, once taken in, it is hard to keep the wall in perspec- tive for two reasons: one, because the break ofthe Romans witb Britain was a clean one. Around A.D. 400 the Romans left for good, and their memory faded so fast that, in tbe centuries that followed, the great illiterate major- ity thought the wall was the work of giants: "there were giants in the earth in those days," it was written in Genesis, so it must have been so. Second, the Latin legacy that included the documentation of the empire under the Christian cburcb was dismpted by paganism and tlie disorder of centuries before it was taken up by antiquarians in tbe sixteenth century. Bede, the monk of Jarrow, near the eastern end of tbe wall, who died in 735, wrote in A History ofthe English Church and People that, before they departed, the Romans built a stone wall to replace a turf rampart built by the emperor Severus from sea to sea: "This famous and still conspicuous wall was built from public and private resources, with the Britons lending assistance. It is eight feet in breadth, and twelve in height; and, as can be clearly seen to this day, ran straight from east to west." No mention of Hadrian, and little agree- ment with the time scale established by modem scholarship. History is written by tbe winners, said Ceorge Orwell. The Romans cer- tainly were winners, as appears in their accounts of Hadrian. But that is all.
